Lavinia

Lavinia was the daughter of Latinus and Amata and the wife of Aeneas. She was the only child of the king, and, in 1233 BC, she was ripe for marriage; King Turnus of the Rutuli had the favor of Queen Amata, while the king's adviser Pauchus warned him against marrying them, as Turnus was an enemy of the powerful Etruscans due to his support of their exiled tyrant Mezentius. Lavinia was ultimately given permission to marry the Trojan prince Aeneas, who named the city of Lavinium for her. After Aeneas died in 1206 BC, Lavinia became the regent for her young stepson Ascanius, who entrusted her with ruling Lavinium after he founded Alba Longa in 1176 BC.
